Does Betelgeuse have anything to do with beetles or juice?
No. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star. It doesn't have anything to do with beetles or juice, but it sure will make vapor out of both of them! The exact origin of the name is a little uncertain, but "abet" is the Arabic word for "armpit" and al-Jauza (which means "the central one") is a historical Arabic name for the constellation as a whole. Since Betelgeuse is located near what would be Orion's armpit, this seems a reasonable derivation. While there's no true consensus on pronunciation, many sources make the first syllable "bet" rather than "beet," or at least list it as an alternative. The popularity of the "beetlejuice" pronunciation among laypeople is probably related to the film and cartoon series "Beetlejuice" (and because, if you're a kid, "beetle juice" is fun to say).
